I am not sure that a numbered coloring system would work very well. For one thing, if I make a light pink light bustier, I have to choose a different 'pink' color to match the skirt with the bustier. This is probably along the lines of the textures not making colors take correctly.

Hello Fellow Tailors,

It's come to that point in time where we need to start talking about the new top 5. This is just the stage where we bounce around ideas and try to figure out what we consider important as a community. We're not doing any voting, listing, or anything of that sort yet. This thread is just for you to toss around ideas that you like or don't like, and the narrowing of a final list will be later.

Here is why: I was looking at the last top 5, and I realized that we don't really know the status/progress of 4 of the items. Without that information, I don't know if we can seriously start narrowing the list. In particular I'm trying to find out what progress has been made on these items, so that we know whether we have to re-include them, whether to expand on them (i.e. the progress being made is not what we wanted), and from knowing what's going on with the old top 5 we may learn a bit more about what types of changes are feasible/not feasible. I'm hoping they will let me share any information if/when it is given.

So feel free to share what ideas you have for the top 5. Feel free also to talk about the big picture of where tailor is now: including issues from the last top 5, which issues overall are you concerned about.

As much as everyone likes to kvetch, remember that we have gotten quite a lot of goodies, and our profession isn't nearly ask borked as others. Many players who start out tailors stay tailors: this is not a forum where people are leaving the profession every few days. In general, we're a constructive and fun bunch (or so GarVa has said). Let's try to rise above unproductive gripes and focus in on constructively making it better for our community.

1. TEF trading bug

We understand that it is a big pain in the arse getting kicked out of your house, but the other things we tried were still being exploited. We encourage you to work as a community and brainstorm for new ideas.

Basically this is working as intended, and not really unique to the tailor profession per-se.

2. In the inability to see Necklaces when crafting and within inventory window.

We hate that bug. We hates it alot. We are working hard to make it die.

I have reiterated that this may be a camera angle problem and asked for what progress has been made on this front.

3. Decay.

We are currently discussing other ways to deal with clothing decay. It is a touchy issue though. We hear the tailors, and even though it's a minor sting, players do not like it.

We are aware that items that have reached 0/0 condition are still equippable, it is not suppose to work this way. We consider this issue a priority for your profession and we are working to resolve it.

I stressed that items at 0/0 are not only still equippable, but they retain bonuses from BE panels and skill tapes.

4. Expanded colors for Wookiees and Boots/Shoes.

We have a big suprise for you soon.

I stated that although the developer may not have intended to promise that we would get expanded palettes, this answer made the tailoring community indeed believe that we were promised something, and disappointed when it did not come through (then referenced the ol' color proposal ).

5. Items need to fit right.

The following items have been sent to QA

• Immense Gemstone Necklace + Exotic Leotard / Flesh Wrap = Missing Chest area. [fixed]


• Low Cut Top has dent in left side of exposed torso area. [Still a problem]


• Lekku Ys'rak and Twi'lek Noble's Crest display a white scalp patch on Males. [fixed]


• The derriere shows through when wearing pullovers and very apparent and embarrassing when bending over in the grand healer's robe. [fixed]


• Back of Decorative Dress shows legs when running around. [fixed]


• Legs poke through the Two-Tone Formal Skirt, both when running and when sitting (with legs crossed). [Still a problem]


• Silver pendant does not layer correctly with luxurious gown, neck scarf hides it. [Still a problem]


• Back packs do not layer correctly with cloaks, causing clipping to occur. [Still a problem]


• Bikini leggings worn by men let the skin appear on the thigh and legs when they move. [Still a problem]


• Rebel Marine Backpack does not show up when wearing with Gunman's Duster. [Unknown]


• Necklaces for the most part do not fit well around the neck and often float. [Still a problem]


• Jackets on Females do not seem to scale properly, making waist line unnaturally small, shoulders over-padded. [Still a problem]


• Luxurious Dress and Decorative Belt do not dispaly colors correctly from a distance where the quality shifts to low-grade mode. Turning the item either white or color 1 when worn.[Still a problem]


• Belts and bandoliers in general do not fit correctly around the waist, usually looking very bulky or floating inches away from the waist. They also expand to wear over the jacket where they should wear under the jacket or robe or fit snug instead of bulky.[Still a problem]


• Metal Color Bleed on Councilman's Robe: seems that the underside of the belt of this robe bleeds out onto the gown itself. Also bleeds around the cuffs. [Still a problem]


• Short Robe reveals naughty bits when seated.[Still a problem]

I tested these items yesterday and added the status of fixed/broken. I wrote that the biggest concern in this category is the hula hoop belts. Tailors would like belts to fit over jackets which are closed (such as the suit jacket), but under jackets that have an open front (such as dusters).

Ive been and mastered tailor here and back again. I just want to say that the lack of non-equpable bags sucks. I like saw the schematic "cargo pocket" and I was full of joy that I could orginize all my stuff in smaller containers..... DOH its not a container. Oh well

You could add satchels and cargo pockets to it which are already a loot iteme just cant be made for some odd reason
